Description

Peaches are a major part of the state's agricultural economy. They are grown in various locations across the state, particularly in Spartanburg, Cherokee, Chesterfield, Lexington, Saluda, Edgefield, and Allendale counties. While there is much "home consumption" of this fruit, most find their way to markets outside the state- particularly in the Northeast. South Carolina is one of the leading peach-growing states in the nation.
